    Doubt you can but if its a simple brushes issue I'd try Amorn in Tukom basement.

    Stanley stuff is cheap throwaway junk anyways so just buy a new one.

    That's right you just make the guy feel better. Just take the tool to any competent tool repairer and he'll bodge it. If it's a brushes problem it'll be a simple bodge.

    Yeah, his third post was about him too - also tangential.

    Guess he's settled in for the day.

    Any half decent mom & pop hardware shop will sell you a new ball race. Then a fan/water pump/motor rewind repair shop will put it on for you.

    Bearing about 100 baht.

    Need a hobby ? Get it fixed.
    Need a grinder? Buy a new one.

    For little grinders like that I just buy the cheapest and treat then as disposable... Hitachi is often on sale for Bt.600 at Hardware house.

    Sorry missed this.

    Hobby? Well finding a new bearing then riding around looking for a place to replace it. Time, fuel et al. Maybe project would be a better term than hobby.
